Designer: 
Hermsen, Melina "Yureiko"

Adams, Sara
Difficulty Level: 
Intermediate
Model type: 
Stars
Triangle Grid
Paper ratio: 
Hexagon

Today, I cut two hexagons from the same patterned paper (kaleidoscopic paper by Julia Schönhuber), but at different angles. The pattern I used is called "Sommer 2".

I then folded the same model from the two hexagons. Look at the difference in appearance!

Thats is really cool to see the two different stars coming from the same paper. I tried to understand how you cut the paper, but I am not sure how you did it. Can you give some information in the two different cuts? Thanks!

Actually, I also recorded a video on how to cut Julia's paper yesterday, so you'll soon have a tutorial that should answer your question. :)
It also shows the two hexagons that I used for these models, so if you watch that part of the video closely, you should be able to cut a hexagon almost exactly as I did for these two models.
